Hot Water Supply

The German submarine mine-layer, U C-5 A German submarine mine-layer, captured by the British early in 1916, has been brought into New York in three sections and is being assembled and put on exhibition in Central park as an aid to the war loan campaign. The submarine is 100 feet in length, beam eleven feet and with a displacement of 200 tons. The photograph shows the crate-like compartment in which the mines were stored and from which they were dropped into the deep.

An absolutely steam and water tight valve without packing of any kind, thus absolutely preventing leaks and damage. Every part is metal nothing to wear or rust out. Most easily turned on or off, never binds or sticks, or needs attention. A wise investment on any job. Same measurement sr, old style valves so that this packless valve may be easily put on in place of leaky or worn old-fashioned valves.

Used in homes, barber shops, stores, factories, garages, restaurants, hotels, clubs, etc. A few shovel fulls of coal will supply warm water for the whole family for a day and when the boiler is equipped with a Sylphon Water Regulator (as shown) the water is always just hot enough never cold never scalds. Made in all sizes for any hot water requirement.
